“Come join me April 30th through May 12th, 2008 on a most outstanding 12,day classical music tour to Berlin and Leipzig, and much more. We will visit most of the important Bach and Luther sites, including Thomaskirche and Nikolaikirche in Leipzig, Bach’s birthplace in Eisenach, and Erfurt. Luther sites include Wittenberg and the church where he posted his 95 Theses.


I’m also excited about the performances we’ve lined up for this event, including the Deutsches Symphonie- Orchester, the Deutsche Oper, a concert with Daniel Barenboim, the Leipzig Oper and Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchester in addition to music in Bach’s church.


As always, I will provide lectures, background information and anecdotes preceding each performance. All performance tickets are included as well as transportation, many dinners, sightseeing, gratuities and much more. I hope you’ll join me in this exciting tour.”      - Carl
